Show too much T&A and you could be MIA on an airline flight

Show too much cleavage and some airlines may leave you at the departure gate. Same goes for T-shirts with four-letter words.

Yep, some airlines appear to have dress codes. We say “appear” because the dress codes aren’t published anywhere, at least not where the public can find them, and enforcement is selective at best.

Capitol Hill Blue called several airlines and asked for copies of their dress codes for passengers. Some said no written code existed. Others said such codes are not public. Others didn’t respond.

Blogs are buzzing about a woman who says Southwest Airlines this past spring told her she was showing too much cleavage?

Southwest? The airline that first gained notoriety for putting its flight attendants in hot pants?

Yep. That Southwest.

An American airlines pilot lectured a female passenger for wearing a t-shirt with a cuss word on it and forced her to cover the shirt with a shawl.

How times have changed.

Another female passenger, protesting what she called “racial profiling” was barred from a Delta flight for wearing a t-shirt that said: “Terrists gonna kill us all.” The misspelling, she said, was intentional.
